It's more than the one that Ironworks uses from Ron Francis. Personally - I haven't found Dakota Digital to be very "robust". Everything I've used from them seems flimsy.... but I've never seen this particular unit.

I checked out the Dakota Digital unit and think I am either going to go with the Ron Francis kit or just good old fashioned relays. What I liked about the Ron Francis kit, is the two relays are built into the unit and would make for an easy install and less clutter to hide. Autorad will be here on Friday, need to make up my stinking mind.

I agree on the dakota stuff, it might be an unfair statement for me to make because I have never owned anything from them, I just feel the quality is not quite there.. no offense to anyone.

The ronfrancis one does seem simple.

The cool thing about the Ron Francis is that it does not you a temp sensor. So it has less parts to go wrong. But you have to manually set the fan switch with a heat gun since it does not use a Temp sensor. But once you figure out the temp it comes on at you just adjust it higher or lower to your desired setting.
